You are cordially invited to the conference organised by the School of English, Academy of Management, which will be held in Warsaw from 12th to 13th December 2009. The conference will be devoted to 'Foreign influences on Medieval English'. The aim of the conference is to bring together specialists in the areas of Medieval English linguistics, particularly interested in language contact in Old and Middle English.

A number of proposals for section papers have already been received from Europe, the United States and Asia. Further proposals and registration will be accepted until the end of July 2009. Please do not forget to attach a brief abstract.

We would like to take this opportunity and inform you that there will be no MESS devoted to language at AMU this year. Since we have received many enquiries from scholars working on topics other than foreign influences who would like to present their work at the Conference, we would like to accept a few papers not referring to the topic of the Conference.

School of English, Academy of Management, Ul. Lucka 11 00-842 Warsaw
